Answer:

When kinetic energy is low intermolecular forces are strong the matter has definite shape. When the kinetic energy is appreciable the intermolecular forces are same but the molecules lie within the range of these forces. hence the molecules are not able to create definite shaped lattice. They flow like liquids.

Answer:

Because the particles cannot move around, a solid has a fixed shape. Liquids do not have a fixed shape but they do have a fixed volume.
